| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the advantages offered by a floating intake structure in an irrigation lake or pond. The lower strata of a lake generally contains a higher amount of suspended solids and large quantities of organic material settling from the the upper strata. There is also a higher demand for oxygen and limited exposure to light in the lower strata, which can lead to poor-quality irrigation water. Explains the significance of light and oxygen to aquatic organisms, which play an important role in keeping the water healthy and free from algae blooms. Describes how thermal stratification of a lake can occur and its affect on water quality. Suggests the use of a floating intake structure even when an aerator system is in place or when a lake cycles quickly because the floating intake can effectively handle potential sedimentation problems that are not addressed by aerators. |
